Could it be, that the youth-obsessed era is coming to an end? Not exactly, but the September issues this year are being dominated by over 40 actresses. Julia Roberts is on the cover of ELLE, Jennifer Lopez is covering GLAMOUR, and Jennifer Aniston is on Harper’s Bazaar. It’s great to have these iconic ladies representing true stardom. They have real staying power, style and role models for women everywhere.

First she rocked the Blue Pout, not she’s showing off her Gold tooth. Serious, what will Ke$ha do next? I’m all about gold, but not in my mouth. It’s something Flava Flav would be proud off. This style hopefully will not return. What will she do next?

SunLove recently sent me a great new lip gloss. It’s from Pretty Soon and the color is Bella Rosa. The gloss goes on smooth, isn’t sticky yet stays put for quite a while. This color is the perfect transition from summer to fall. It’s in between fuchsia and red; making it the perfect rosey finish. I’d say this gloss is high quality. Word is there’s also a nude shade, which I’ve yet to try.

***I’m currently getting more information on the lip gloss. I’ll let you guys know soon where you can find it and for how much***

We’re always seeing commercials for new products that offer something too good to be true. The Goody’s Simple Style Spin Pin ($6.49) is one of them. It look like a bobby pin twisted into a swirl effect. The box brings two of them and it’s supposed to be all you need to hold your hair in place; Instead of the 40 bobby pins or scrunchie you’d normally use. It wasn’t until I tried it that I realized it really did work the way it says it will. Simply gather your hair and twist it into a bun. Then twist one or both of the pins on opposite sides. Wah-lah you have a bun without the million and one pins holding it together.

The pins come in different colors like Brunette, Dark Blond, and Dark Hair. And best of all, there are no dents in your hair afterwards from using a hair tie.

A little color goes a long way. Having a golden complexion or simply getting a little color can always be achieved with the help of bronzer and tinted body lotions. Being a fan of 2-in-one products, it comes to no surprise that a tinted moisturizer would be one of them. They’re great at evening out skin tones and providing natural looking coverage. AVEENO’s Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer ($15) is a good choice. It protects against UVA/UVB with an SPF of 30. Positively Radiant is oil-free and hyper allergenic. It’s beneficial for all skin types, sensitive enough to use everyday, and not overbearingly shiny.

AVEENO’S has shown me great results and proved to work just how it says it will. The packaging is perfect to throw in your purse and comes with a top that lock by twisting; preventing it from opening up on its own. The color goes on sheer and the light smell isn’t overpowering at all. Tinted moisturizer can take the place foundation. Most, if not all, of your imperfections get hidden discretely with the tint.

If you’re looking for a moisturizer with more coverage try Hourglass Illusion ($55). It’s liquid based like a foundation making it great for drier skin. With more shades to choose from, you’re able to get one closest to your skin tone. The Hourglass formula is oil-free and has an SPF 15.

Don’t miss yet another makeup opportunity. Stila Cosmetics is having their warehouse sale, where you can save up 75% off their products. When you spend $50 or more you also get free shipping; no code needed. In order to qualify orders must be placed online by midnight this sunday.

While you’re on the site mak sure to take a look at the Barbie collection.

The women’s clothing line Ann Taylor has been in hot water these past couple of days. Everyone is speaking about their negative portrayal of women on their website. In the past they’ve been called out for photo shopping models, and even so they thought they could still pull a fast one on us. On their website you can see normal pictures of the models. Yet once you click on it to get a close look, the model’s waist smooths out dramatically.

As if the model wasn’t skinny enough already. Who is Ann Taylor trying to sell to? Maybe they should take a note from Marc Jacobs and stores like Saks who are embracing women’s figures.
